paint chip Christmas tags.

Got this idea over on Helga's blog from artchix studio.

artchix bi-weekly:Chirstmas colors red,green,&gold.

Christmas ornament.

Found these metal knobs of some sort at a local thrift store. They reminded me of snowflakes. I used an image from lisa's altered art and then I spun some metalic thread and attached it to the metal thing to make a cute ornament. Precious!!!

sewing paper...

Just got some new paper from a scrapbook store in town. Had to make something with it. The background is the back of the paper and the girl was on the front of the paper. I used a vintage collar and some vintage buttons, also on the side which is hard to see I attached some old pattern paper.

Another Christmas ATC

Background is a vintage letter to Santa from a little girl named Maude. I just love this letter.

"Innocent"

This is titled "Innocent". I love vintage pictures of children. They look so innocent. No problems, No worries, I often think of what kind of childhood they had? Was it one to remember like their mom baking homemade cookies, reading bedtime stories, home cooked meals,sit down dinners, hand sewn dresses or was it a bad childhood with no fond memories..... My childhood was one to remember even though I'm not close to my mother now, I do remember her walking me to school,home cooked meals, family vacations, the smell of my lunchbox at lunchtime. (Even though it was usually peanut butter and jelly) but it did have a special kind of smell. I miss those innocent times when there was no mistakes made yet and you were "Innocent".

"Vogue"

Wednesday stamper challenge

This is my "wednesday stamper" challenge. The challenge was thinking cap. Mine is titled "Vogue". I used a glazing technique then stamped over the glaze.Under the girl is a clipping that reads "vogue leading style or fashion". Sorry I take terrible pictures.

Hi, I've been staying home alot and doing lots of "ART". I just figured out how to post it. I'm not to good with the computer!! This is a challenge I did for Theme Thursday. Fun site. I ususally do the theme but never post them so hopefully I'm doing this right so I can keep on posting. Any way back to the art.

Thats also a great place to buy some original art supplies. I'm also proud to be a member of their group. I'm listing list tomorrow on ebay.
An update on baby "Austin" he's doing really good and we were expecting him home next week but they have to do surgery on him on friday to fix his wound. I know not to many people read this but if you are please say some prayers for him and my daughter.

Baby Austin!!!

I know its been a long time but I've been busy! My oldest daughter had a baby but he was nine weeks early. That was scary enough. And not to mention the fact that it was very hard to go back and fourth to the hospital plus babysitting her 10 month old at night so her and her husband could go back to the hospital but as I was complaining about all this ,things changed , the baby got whats called NEC disease which is basically ulsers in the intestines. Long story short I wish I could go back to those times when I was going back and forth to the hospital because now he's in critical condition and not to mention the fact that he had his whole large intestine and 1/3 of his small intestine taking out. What lies ahead for this little Angel? Only God knows. We keep praying for a miracle and I know God can do miracles! My daughter has been amazing through all this. I actually admire her, she's so strong in her faith in God and she always says "God has his reasons" no matter what happens mom" I can't even imagine what she is going through even though I'm here as she is going through it. As a mom you always want to make the pain go away and I know that as I watch her heart breaking theres nothing that I can do to fix it,no words,no hugs,Nothing and that breaks my heart!!!
